Over the past few weeks, the gunfight between the two superpowers, the United States and China, has been like the Wild West. It would be an exaggeration to say that every day there has been some news story that has shaken up the whole affair anew. ProThe crisis came to a head just after the US president banned domestic companies from trading with Chinese ones. While Western companies prayed that President Xi Jinping would not create a list of inconvenient companies and ban them from doing business, Huawei was preparing backup plans. The President of the United States, Donald Trump, clipped the Chinese company's wings and there were rumors that the number of units sold could drop by up to 60% due to the ban on trading with Western suppliers. Fortunately, the leaders of both countries came to their senses and came up with a temporary solution literally in five minutes to twelve.

The trade war is still ongoing, tariffs have not yet been eased, but after the G20 summit, where Donald Trump and Xi Jinping met, it is a good step forward. The President of the United States nakonec allowed American companies to trade with China, but has not yet removed Huawei from the blacklist. He kept this gesture as a sure lever in case China is reluctant to fulfill its part of the obligations agreed upon in future trade negotiations. In any case, not only the governments of both countries can celebrate, but especially Huawei itself. It has already been slowly considering deploying its own operating system, named ArkOS, in the homeland of Hongmeng OS. At the same time, the company would have to produce its own chipsets, which would certainly not be cheap. In one way or another, it can continue to use not only imported foreign components, but also Android. So no restrictions are expected on the software side of the dispute.

As for international trade, the situation is relatively unclear. Although both sides will sit down at the negotiating table and there are no plans to introduce new tariffs, Huawei is atonec end still on the blacklist, which prevents the company from exporting to the United States. Fortunately, the biggest fears did not come true and everything will de facto work as before, or rather until the ban is introduced. Huawei will probably still import the majority of its software and components from America. We'll see how it goes.onec the situation will continue to develop. Donald Trump is extremely unpredictable in this regard and it is not entirely certain how the upcoming negotiations will turn out. If everything goes according to plan, who knows, maybe the Chinese company's name will be cleared completely. What do you think about this case? Do you think it is justified?
